We use a flexible scheduling system that is completely unique to our program.
Each week consists of two sessions:
Session 1 - Instruction Call
Each week starts on Sunday with a live instructional call where you'll learn new concepts & vocab and have time for Q&A.
Show up at 1-2pm or 7-8pm - your choice!
Missed the Call? No worries! The call is recorded, and we leave Mondays empty so you have time to watch the teaching and catch up.
Office Hours FREE BONUS #2!
An instructor is also available online at fixed times to answer questions!
Session 2 - Conversation Group
You pick a time below that works best with your schedule. That's when you'll meet with your instructor and small cohort of 3-5 students for your weekly Arabic conversation group.
*All times are in EST
We want to give you total comfort in this decision to invest in your future. Just enroll, select your schedule, meet your instructor, attend the first few weeks, and make sure this course is perfect for you.
Then, if you participate in those classes and are not satisfied with the quality of the program, we will refund 100% of your payment, no questions asked. See "Terms of Use" for further details.

THE BEST TIMES DISAPPEAR THE FASTEST!
The earlier you register, the better chance you have of getting into a conversation group that works with your schedule.
None! This program is designed Total Beginners, but it's also perfect for "False Beginners", meaning people with some exposure to Arabic (whether through hearing it at home growing up, up or taking a course in school) who could use a refresher on the basics as they relate to the spoken Levantine dialect.
Any Device With Internet. ALL the course content is available on our website, providing maximum ease of use. Our content is optimized for a computer, laptop, or tablet, but even a phone will work!
Arabic is what we call a "diglossic" language, meaning the spoken and written versions have to be learned independently. Furthermore, the dialects (i.e. spoken versions) of the language change drastically by region, so when you want to learn to speak Arabic, you have to pick a dialect!
We specialize in teaching Levantine Arabic, which is the dialect spoken in Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, and Palestine. Whenever there are unique characteristics by country, much like there might be differences between American and British English, we highlight those differences so you can practice the exact version of the dialect you want to learn!
Exclusively through this link, you'll pay a single payment of just $400 (we normally charge $500). At this price, you're paying $11 per hour, which is over 50% below the market average of $23 per hour.
With that payment, you'll get full access to all the course material, meaning we won't charge you a penny for textbooks or other content, as well as all the bonus material!
